However you decide to get involved, you will be helping to preserve plants and the important roles they perform. How does it work?Save a Species is supporting the NSW Seedbank - an amazing way of storing seeds and plant DNA to prevent the loss of plant species from ecological habitats.
Through this network the NSW Seedbank has helped bank 10% of the world's plant species and is committed to reaching 25% by 2020. Our Seedbank is targeting plants most at risk from climate change and human activities to ensure the powerful blueprints contained in plant DNA aren't lost forever.
